Fall Cardigans

Is there a more iconic cardigan moment than Katie Holmes' famous brami from last summer?

Fall in Montreal means shivering in the morning, sweating in the afternoon sun, then back to freezing by dinner. Layering is your best weapon in the fight against the weather's power moves.

My ideal cardi is soft, chunky, cozy, and worn overtop a silk camisole. These sweaters also great fully buttoned and worn like a regular popover, or lazily draped over your shoulders to keep warm without messing up your outfit lol.

Also worth the effort: Choosing sweater knits made with natural fibers, like cotton or wool. The better quality comes at a higher price but normally lasts longer with wear. 

Here's a handful of cardis that are on my radar!

  

  

  

Top to bottom, left to right:

1. This chunky alpaca-blend grandpa cardi from Aritzia is basically a stylish house coat (except fully acceptable to be worn in public lol). The textured knit and overall heftiness lands it firmly in Dream Sweater Territory.

2. I wanted this square-ish, super girly Everlane cardigan sooo bad last year, but (foolishly) never pulled the trigger. How cute is that neckline and those buttons?

3. Frank And Oak came out with really cute twinsets. While I would definitely spring for the matching tank top, this sage-toned lightweight rib is certainly nice on its own.

4. Loving the oversize vibe and big buttons of this Zara cardigan. Bonus: It's made with recycled poly fibers, so you can feel moderatly less guilty about buying fast fashion.

5. Madewell's Colburne cardigan is a classic shape, has patch pockets, and looks especially cute in lavender. Say no more.

6. Gap's knitwear is pretty reliable for its decent quality and affordable price point (they routinely offer 40% off their merchandise). This black marled mock neck looks like a sturdy basic that can be easily integrated into any closet. 

7. Obsessed with the shoulder detail, large covered buttons, and rich color on this H&M cardi.

8. Equally enamored by the honeycomb-like texture/design of this Other Stories' cable knit v-neck.

9. More gorgeous texture from Other Stories. That color! Those buttons! Practically all Other Stories' cardigans are knockouts this season. If only they shipped to Canada!
